The perturbation of Love wave spectra

Abstract

The equations governing the variational principles for Love wave spectra are investigated. It is shown that assumptions used by earlier authors are not necessary to the validity of the variational techniques. Moreover it is demonstrated that except for a homogeneous plate, these assumptions are false for plane multilayered media and lead to incorrect expressions for group-velocity perturbations. The correct expressions are determined and examples of their use are given.
